This affects me as well. Seemingly with each type of bluetooth device I've connected. Sony SRS-X11 bluetooth speaker, my JBL Bluetooth speaker (not sure on the model), and my SkullCandy Hesh 2 Wireless Headphones.
Restarting the devices multiple times appears to randomly fix it. Then I just make sure to keep the device connected on my desk all day to ensure it does not get disconnected. Will try the workaround. This affects me on both 16.04 and 16.10 (tested on multiple machines here at System76). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1438510 Title: [REGRESSION] bluetooth headset no longer supports a2dp in 16.04 xenial and 16.10 yakkety Status in PulseAudio: Unknown Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in bluez source package in Vivid: Won't Fix Status in pulseaudio source package in Vivid: Won't Fix Bug description: Just installed 15.04 fresh from the latest ISO (beta2). I'm bummed to see my bluetooth headset (Bose Soundlink overear) seems to have regressed in functionality. In 14.10, I was able to set the output profile either to a2dp or hsp/hfp (telephony duplex). In 15.04, it only works in telephony duplex mode. I can't get high fidelity sound playback to work at all. This thread seems to be related, though the workaround within did not solve the problem for me: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=194006 The bug is still present in 16.04 LTS and 16.10.
